My Dear, now it happened,
since the last 24 hours the revenge has started. Tomorrow I will write a long
letter. I am fine, what I think of you also. The weather is very bad now and
that’s all I can tell. I have to talk of I. to you. Your post has arrived
completely, that was fine. Many greetings (and kisses) your father and husband.

My Dear Ones, many happy
greetings for the Sunday. Just was your letter arriving and the postman
urgently wants to leave, so only this short notice, I will answer the letter
later. Nothing new from here. Here is everything fine and I am satisfied. I
hope it’s the same with you. From father and mother I got a letter also, which I
also will answer soon. Weather is fine, and tomorrow in Rends (Rendsburg) the
fair is starting. If it’s possible I will go there. Greetings and kisses your
father and husband.
With the postcards were these three photographs. Could one of these couples be Eduard and Cacilia Weber?
This officer looks like the same one as in the above photo on the left?
